Python programs can operate in a Command Line Interface (CLI), a web interface, or a Graphical User Interface (GUI). For a less than ginormous Python program, the GUI stack best combining popularity and ease is tkinter, which is pretty much a one for one wrapper around Tk functions. Most people have used tkinter in Python, but a heck of a lot of such usage is cut and pasted from the web, followed by trial and error debugging. At Wednesday night's presentation you'll learn the logic behind tkinter, which calls do what, the logic, order and form of tkinter's event handling, and the intricate communication dance between Tk and X11 or your Wayland compositor. If Python is one of your languages and you sometimes want to go GUI, this presentation is for you. I hope to see you there.
